When Luo Qingxian talked about the "Harmony Essence Technique," her stunning face also displayed waves of different colors, seemingly filled with admiration and longing for the technique—or rather, a yearning to integrate spiritual essence.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan’s breathing became unusually rapid. Although he had condensed ten spiritual essences, he had only a vague understanding of cultivators with ten spiritual essences. After all, such terrifying existences were as rare as phoenix feathers among billions of cultivators in the Righteous and Demonic Dao.

To put it bluntly, even Sword Saint Dugu Nan hadn’t expected that Ye Xiaofan could condense ten spiritual essences. Had he known in advance, he might have gone all out to acquire a "Harmony Essence Technique."

Moreover, according to Luo Qingxian’s explanation, the "Harmony Essence Technique" is only suitable for cultivators during the Spiritual Essence Realm. Once breaking through to the True Self Realm, the opportunity to integrate spiritual essence would be lost forever.

Ye Xiaofan felt chills down his spine as he heard this, while also feeling secretly fortunate. Luckily, before entering the True Self Realm, Luo Qingxian had invited him over, otherwise, he would have been completely unaware of the matter of integrating spiritual essence.

Once Ye Xiaofan stepped into the True Self Realm, he would have entirely lost the opportunity to integrate spiritual essence. What this implied was self-evident: it would directly affect his future potential, potentially leaving him with eternal regret, unable to reach the highest heights he could have achieved.

"Junior Brother Ye, throughout the whole Hundred Broken Mountain Range, numerous versions of the "Harmony Essence Technique" exist, yet they are all copies, incomplete at that. But the one you see now is the original."

"In other words, it is the firsthand manuscript from endless ages ago by the very creator of the ’Harmony Essence Technique’, the only main text most likely to truly integrate the ten spiritual essences."

After Luo Qingxian finished speaking, Ye Xiaofan was even more astonished. What circulated outside was all copies, plainly put, they were handwritten copies, while the book in the other’s hand was the first-hand manuscript of the world-shocking ancient secret technique’s creator.

Ye Xiaofan stared blankly at the secret technique on the tea table, unable to remain calm. If what the other said was true, then this "Harmony Essence Technique" before him was undoubtedly an urgent great opportunity, especially since he was currently at the ’Peak of the Spiritual Essence Realm’, just a hair’s breadth from missing the ’integration’.

"Senior Sister Luo, do you want to give this ’Harmony Essence Technique’ to me?" In Ye Xiaofan’s heart surged waves of colossal emotion. For someone to give such an important firsthand book, what the other party intended must be unimaginably significant.

But currently, he couldn’t think of anything on his person worth such a significant expenditure from the other party.

In response, Luo Qingxian smiled wryly: "Junior Brother Ye, you certainly have pleasant thoughts. This is a unique copy, the only one on the entire Martial Soul Continent. Giving it away outright isn’t very realistic, but if brother wishes, you could borrow it for some days."

As expected, the other suggested borrowing. It wasn’t an outright gift, yet it was essentially the same. Cultivators have exceptional memory, and with such an extraordinary secret technique in hand, even without comprehending it fully, memorizing it completely would be no problem at all.

Looking at the "Harmony Essence Technique" quietly lying on the tea table, it was impossible for Ye Xiaofan not to be tempted. After all, it was the only timely means for him before stepping into the True Self Realm.

However, remembering the earthly truth that nothing comes without cost, he hesitated over whether to accept Luo Qingxian’s ’favor’.

The other clearly saw through Ye Xiaofan’s thoughts but wasn’t in a hurry for an answer, instead smiling gracefully: "Junior Brother Ye, why don’t you take a look at the contents first?"

"Can I take a look?" Ye Xiaofan was slightly taken aback.

This was a world-shocking secret technique, yet the other party was openly allowing it to be browsed. It’s known that any cultivator, even those with a natural deficiency in memory, could temporarily imprint it using spiritual power on the Profound Sea with just a glance at the content within.

Frankly, once he browses through it, this secret book is practically his.

Yet Luo Qingxian responded without hesitation, "Of course you can, read freely."

Clearly, Luo Qingxian didn’t seem afraid of Ye Xiaofan replicating the world-shocking arts in the book.

Having heard her words,

The latter furrowed his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, then casually took the book and began to slowly browse through it.

As Ye Xiaofan browsed, suddenly his entire body shook vehemently. This truly was a secret technique for integrating spiritual essence pearls—indeed, a world-shocking secret technique. If he hadn’t seen this book, he wouldn’t have known what he had missed even if he broke through to the True Self Realm.

However, as Ye Xiaofan’s shock mounted, the secret technique in his hand quickly reached its end, with the crucial arts abruptly stopped on the last page, as if suddenly fragmented.

Ye Xiaofan instinctively looked up at Luo Qingxian, puzzled.

The latter unhurriedly maintained her gentle smile, explaining, "Junior Brother Ye, no rush; this art is divided into three volumes. You have the first volume in hand; there’s also a middle and final volume. If Junior Brother is willing to read later, Senior Sister can provide them all."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaofan chuckled bitterly to himself. No wonder she wasn’t worried about him browsing it—it was just one volume. Without the middle and final volumes, no matter how well he memorized the first, it was useless.

Everyone here was smart, and Luo Qingxian’s phrase ’if you wish to read later’ was a double entendre.

Clearly, her statement referenced being willing rather than wanting—a step shy of directly saying cooperation.

The answer was evident; if the following negotiations didn’t go well, even if he wanted to read, fearing he wouldn’t be able to see it.

Instantly understanding everything, Ye Xiaofan gently placed the ancient manuscript down, sighed helplessly, and gazed at that almost irresistibly beautiful face, saying, "Didn’t Senior Sister mention there’s another great opportunity? How about sharing that with me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian’s smile became even more enchanting. However, the second great opportunity was exactly what Ye Xiaofan desired, making him suddenly look up, his eyes filled with an unspeakable shock.
